Instagram's Handy Yet Creepy New Feature

Publish date: Thursday, 1 Sep 2016, 1:25PM

Instagram has added yet another new feature, and we're unsure about this one.

Today Instagram has announced that you can now zoom in on all photos and videos.

All you need to do is use two fingers to pinch the screen to zoom.

This is going to be handy when you need to zoom in on a pic, but super annoying when your mates decide to zoom in on a pic of you and screenshot it for the lol's...

Starting today, you can pinch to zoom on photos and videos in feed, on profiles and on Explore. Dive into an adorable puppy’s smile or into every detail of your friend’s new shirt. Over the past six months, you’ve seen many exciting changes come to Instagram, from a new icon to longer videos and even a new way to share everyday moments with Instagram Stories. And as things change, we’re still focused on improving the core parts of Instagram. Zoom is available today for Instagram on iOS. Zoom will be available on Android in the coming weeks.

The feature is only currently available on iOS, but an Android update is in the works.
